BOOKS! Or to be precise, pop science on epidemiology and evidence-based medicine that's fun, accessible, hilarious...and occasionally really scary.

Yes indeed, we're getting all BookTube-esque up in here with a review of Bad Science by Dr. Ben Goldacre.

Nice to see you give Gillian McKeith her correct title.

I saw Ben Goldacre in a debate regarding complimentary medicine - he's very good at what he does.

If you ever get the chance to see him talk, don't skip it. He is very entertaining and insightful.

If I had 1 million dollars a month to donate, I would absolutely donate it to you.

Read this book years ago. It's every bit as good as Jill says it is. And the chapter on placebos made me say WTF a few times at how powerful it actually can be.

I remember the Ursa tag- I don't think I put together that you had a Channel name back in the day. Interesting.

I love the book. It frustrates me when people won't exercise even the most basic of analytical skills.

I'll google it. Thank's for championing intelligence and cleverness and rational thought processes again Ursa.... You Rock 🖖🖖🖖👍💥

I don't even know the meaning of the word epidemiology! I don't know if I've even spelled it right?

I highly recommend Pandora's Lab Seven Stories of Science Gone Wrong by Paul Offit
